Idaho World, March 4.

/ The coming season, from all in.
dications will be an unusually pros
porous one for Boise county. The
great depth of snow in the mount
aims will insure a long placer min
ing season. The construction OF
the new mill At Quartzburg by the
Gold Hill company, and the open
ing up Of the Pioneer, the mann
moth mine of Idaho, by said COM
pany and the renewing of opera
tons in the Iowa mine, at that
place, which has not been worked
for many years, with the exception
of a few weeks work done last fall,
will give an additional activity to
that burg. A mine is being devel-
oped on Summit Flat by Thos
Barry that gives promise of being
a valuable piece of mining property.
After an immense amount of dead
work, the Elkhorn mine near Sum-
NIT Flat, on Elk creek, is making
a fine showing.
Roads are now in very bad con-
dition, and with heavily loaded
sleighs travel is next to an impos-
sibility.
